I am sorry that the assignments for last week were "a little off" - the students didn't get as far as expected. Because of this, the assignments for this week as being adjusted as well. I am going to try to post the "projected" plans for this week during my planning time today - once I get an idea of where we should be by Thursday:-)
Sorry for any confusion!!
